I actually think BMW's screen integration is top notch. The problem with integrated screens is that they raise the entire dash and make the car feel claustrophobic/have poor visibility. And the problem with gluing a screen to the dash (ahem C-class, A4) is that it just looks cheap and tacked on. Plus the dash of the C-class is already too high as it is.
BMW did something clever by meeting halfway. Sure the screen is not integrated into the dash, but the dash slopes down making the screen at eye-level and giving great visibility.
